When you’re watching sports games on teevee with your children, and then some fucken viagra commercial comes on, and they are all like, What the everloving fucke is that about?, how the fucke do you explain that shittio?

No interest in common ground with delusional religious sociopaths. The pope can go fucke himself as far as I’m concerned. Just cause he makes some nice noises about poor people and climate or whatever, doesn’t mean that he isn’t the head of a grotesquely harmful institution that uses its power in the service of evil.

This is the ground lamb shoulder. Our butcher pulled a beautiful whole leg of lamb still on the bone out of the case, cut the shoulder meat off the bone, and trimmed it to leave the perfect amount of fat before grinding it for us.

Add the meat to the vessel, and mix thoroughly with your hands.

Form the balls and arrange them in an oiled baking pan. Bake them in a preheated 450 degree oven.

Sautee the diced onion in olive oil on low until soft and translucent.

Add dried basil, black pepper, and red pepper. Sautee for a minute or two, and then add the tomatoes. Continue to sautee the sauce while the meatballs bake, salting to taste.

Sourdough!

Meatballs are done. I tasted one that I baked earlier, and they could have used a little more salt, so I sprinkled some on top after they came out of the oven. But it would have been better to have incorporated that salt into the balls rather than on top.

Put the balls in the sauce, and continue to cook on low for ten minutes with very gentle occasional stirring.

Scoop out a perimeter piece of the sourdough, put in some balls, spoon a bit of extra sauce on top, and grate some reggiano. Magnifico!!!!!
